The park area is nice, but I recently returned to the forest area after about three years and I am so sad to see it in such a state of decline. There is erosion in the entire wooded area because the trails are not clearly marked and the foot traffic has destroyed all of the beautiful greenery on the forest floor. The trails that you can decipher are not mulched and severely eroded. I ran into local residents cleaning up and they also voiced their concerns about the health of this cherished green space.

Downsides: The bathrooms are sometimes locked. Not enough shade right by the playground and that rubber flooring gets hot and radiates the heat making it almost impossible to play on hot...
